The hero of this 3D cartoon animation is Galilebre, half chicken half hare, who grew up adopted by a hare king. He has one great wish in life: to become an adventurer, even if he had not been born to be one. And that is why, when his uncle, a dangerous rival of his father’s, escapes from prison and threatens the normality of the kingdom, Galilebre immediately sets off on an adventure with a tortoise and a shrimp to try and stop him.
Montado – o bosque do lince ibérico
16 sep – 9pm _Cineteatro
There is an ancient forest in the Iberian Peninsula that preserves extraordinary biodiversity: it is the Montado. In the Middle Ages, rural communities decided to eliminate part of the forests that surrounded their villages in order to avoid ambushes by invaders. This military strategy gradually spread throughout the golden plains, giving rise to a typically Iberian forestry model where the use of resources always coexisted in harmony with wildlife. Since then, the most legendary birds of the Mediterranean have built their nests in the branches of these old trees and, under their canopies, an infinite number of beings take part in the feast of the fruits, while another multitude of creatures hide in their hollows. But above all, the Montado is a battlefield – it is the place where great herbivores challenge each other, where formidable eagles hunt, where, under the pressure of mongooses, the largest reptiles in Europe coexist and where predators hide behind the flowers with the most fantastic camouflages.

HERMÍNIO - a cada passo as suas gentes, em cada gesto uma paisagem
14 oct – 5pm _Auditorium
A transhumant shepherd journeys through the historical buildings and natural landscape of five councils in the Serra da Estrela region. He is accompanied by three women who reveal a little more of themselves every step of the way, embodying the “spirit of the place”. As such, the shepherd, between the real and the unreal, experiences the territory, its landscapes, its peoples, its legends and traditions.
It is a dance film-show created out of an investigation about the territory and the creative meeting with the communities of the municipalities of Celorico da Beira, Fornos de Algodres, Gouveia, Manteigas and Seia, through its integration into the research and interpretation of this artistic creation. It is the final outcome of the SABOR DE TERRA (TASTE OF THE LAND) project, created by the Experimental Multidisciplinary and Organic Device (DEMO) organisation, produced by the Artistic Cooperative of Raia Beirã (CARB) and part of the Network Culture programme of the Intermunicipal Community of the Beiras and Serra da Estrela (CIMBSE).
FOGO FÁTUO (Will-o'-the-Wisp)
From João Pedro Rodrigues, Portugal, Fiction, 2022, 67’
15 oct – 9:30pm_Cineteatro
2069, an erotic year if ever there was one, but a fateful year for a king without a crown. On his deathbed, an old song takes him back to distant memories: trees, a burnt pine forest and the moment when the desire to become a fireman, to free Portugal from the scourge of fires, triggered another desire. Then a prince, Alfredo, meets Afonso. Of different origins and skin colours, they meet, help each other and the lexicon of abuse becomes blackened with desire.

ROSTOS DA ALDEIA
8 oct. to 30 nov_Galleries
Opening: 8 de oct. - 5pm
Rostos da Aldeia (Faces of the Village) is an online platform that tells the stories of those who have helped prevent desertification from becoming an inexorable development, relating inspirational cases of people – young and old – who are fighting to reverse the trend. The villages are the starting points for all the conversations, the Faces bring stories, memories, which are important to preserve. From the hospitality to the trades, visiting the arts, popular culture and innovative projects, the Faces of the Village delves into the two aspects that are intertwined: the people and their places. All the content is available at www.rostosdaaldeia.pt
OLHAR[ES] EM TRÂNSITO
8 oct. to 30 nov_ Auditorium Foyer
Opening: 8 de oct. - 5pm
On 15 November 2017, a swathe of agile and floating shadows invaded the tranquillity of a look. The “Olhar(es) em trânsito - fotografia e outros textos” exhibition brought together over two dozen photographs, in which the author recreated his visible "real".
These images do not subscribe to the conventional register of photography. The movement of the camera and the lens, the options of sensibility and shutter speeds, the intertwined foregrounds and backgrounds and multiple other circumstances of chance emphasise the unrepeatable nature of this kind of photography.
This is another time that seems to contradict the time of photography itself. A slow time prevails in these images, a time of waiting and expectation that interpellates other possibilities of questioning the real that the light lazily sculpts. Evoking Walter Benjamin, this is the way to bring to the fore aspects that escape the human eye and which the lens freely obtains, to encounter “realities ignored by the natural gaze.”

Opening session “BOUCING WITH THE KID”, Cinematic Pocket Orchestra
8 oct. - 9:30pm_Cineteatro
Co-production: Casa Municipal da Cultura de Seia, Novo Ciclo ACERT and O Teatrão -Oficina Municipal de Teatro, Coimbra
A project from a group of musicians from Central Portugal. The group comprises conservatory teachers, musicians doing solo projects or receiving classical, experimental and jazz training. The members of this orchestra have worked together in other musical formats and also in the creation of soundtracks for various national theatrical productions. The film “The Kid”, directed in 1921, is a mix of slapstick and pathos (the dream of paradise, the abandoned child), and was Chaplin’s first feature-length film. “A film with a smile and perhaps a tear,” states the genius Chaplin (director-actor, producer, editor and composer of the musical score) who, inspired by the misery of his childhood, constructed a dramatic comedy about love which remains one of the most important cinema benchmarks of all time.

CASA FLORESTA
8 oct. to 30 nov._Sala das Magnólias
Opening: 8 de oct. - 5pm
Listening: CasaFloresta is a research, reflection and artistic creation project, conceived by Joana Sá, Luís J Martins, Corinna Lawrenz and Nik Völker and developed with the communities of Balocas, Figueiró da Serra, Frádigas and Vide. With: Lucas Tavares (director), Ana Viana (design) and contributions from André Barata, Gisela Casimiro, Helena Antunes, Marta Correia, Marta Prista, Pedro Januário, Rafaela Aleixo, Rita Natálio, Sarita Mota, Susana R. Echeverría.
The project was developed from the Covões ranger's house (Balocas, Vide), which became the space for reflection that places two valleys at opposite ends of the Serra da Estrela in relation. In both territories, audio and video testimonies were collected from local communities: memories, practices and ideas about the forest. In parallel, four interdisciplinary residencies were held at Casa da Guarda dos Covões. At the end of this first phase of CasaFloresta, we present the project's binder: an archive made up of collections and contributions from collaborators that can be consulted on the virtual platform www.aescuta.pt.

EFEITO COLATERAL ÓBVIO (ECO)
12 oct. - 6pm_Auditorium
We live in constant risk. Simply by being alive, we realise that fact. But on a planet undergoing rapid environmental change and profound alterations in the earth system, this risk is always present. Combining a hybridised language that mixes visual poetry, similar to an installation, and video projection mapped onto the scenography, like purely theatrical performative moments, questions are echoed. What to eat? What to wear? What to feel? What technologies to use or not to use? How not to consume? What real choices do I have? ECO is a monologue, reflection of internal dialogues, which mixes research, desires and beliefs. Through the five ECOs we explore five different languages, in an eternal search for the right language, conjugating the physical body of the actor, present in person, with the projected image of the screen, which persists, in a real-virtual dialogue.
Text and staging: Sofia Figueiredo; Performance: Laura Frederico; Length: 50 minutes; Age classification: Over 14 years old; Organized by: Município de Seia; Supported by: DGARTES

WATER, A SCARCE RESOURCE
As a result, to a large extent, of climate change, water is increasingly a scarce resource, which leads us to rethink various models of management and use to minimize negative impacts on a global scale.
Still in the aftermath of the World Water Forum held this year in Dakar, Senegal, where CineEco was present, we propose to bring this issue to discussion, looking for clues and new paths.

WHAT ARE WE WILLING TO GIVE UP FOR THE FUTURE OF ALL?
We are increasingly aware that in the 21st century we face major environmental and social challenges.
Intensive food production with consequences for food security and water consumption; the fragility of biodiversity; the way we organise ourselves in cities and the impact of mobility and the efficiency of services.
This model seems to be exhausted and we need to act quickly to turn around the course we are following. But is it too late? What are we willing to give up to stop the destruction and guarantee our future?
